Line 25:
* Used in ''[[Run Lola Run]]'' when Manny and Lola talk on the phone.
* Parodied in ''[[The Naked Gun]] 33 1/3''. One end of the conversation is in a phone box, the other in an apartment. In the background, a hobo walks past the phone box only to cross the split screen line and find himself in the apartment, which he then proceeds to burgle.
* Two times in ''[[When Harry Met Sally...]]'':
** Sally calls Harry one night and the two of them chat while watching "Casablanca". The split-screen is set up so that they're each in their own bedroom, in their own bed, but it looks like they're sharing a bed.
** A three-way set-up has [[Beta Couple|Jess and Marie]] in bed together when Harry calls Jess and Sally calls Marie. When Harry and Sally tell their respective friends that they had sex the night before, Jess and Marie turn to each other and say in unison, "They did it!"
Line 70:
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' also did the parody version with Spongebob and Patrick.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had a scene with tons of little screens as rumours spread about Michael Jackson coming to Springfield.
** The episode "24 Minutes", a parody of ''[[24]]'', features many split screens. Martin even hurts himself when he manually closes his split screen.
* ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action|Looney Tunes Back in Action]]'' has Bugs and Daffy do this when the former was planning to help the latter get his job back. And they even push one another.
* Also taken to extremes in one 1999 ''[[Arthur]]'' episode, where there was a '''4—4 split!''' Obviously, 16 people were shown on the phone at once in a single scene. Each screen also faded to black as each caller hung up. When Binky Barnes ended up being the last guy talking, some [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity Ensued™]].
